TCP errors!

[benzrf 0]

I've been getting really weird results, if not errors, when I try to use the TCP functions. With something like

TCPStartup()
$socket = TCPListen("192.168.1.3", 64432)

MsgBox(0, @error, $socket)

I get a msgbox with the caption "0" and the text "1688". ALWAYS. Even when I pick another port (except for ones that are already in use like 80 (I have an HTTP running)). I don't have any kind of program running that would do that. Unless... My father recently installed WebRoot. That couldn't be it, could it?

Thanks in advance.

TCPStartup()
$socket = TCPListen(@IPAddress1, 64432)
MsgBox(0, @error, $socket)

The return you are getting is normal. Its the socket identifier. What are you trying to achieve?

Try this, and then open a cmd and "telnet 127.0.0.1 64432" - you'll see it works.

TCPStartup()
$socket = TCPListen("127.0.0.1", 64432)

While True
    $conns =  TCPAccept($socket)
    if $conns >= 0 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Connected", "Connection received")
        exit
    EndIf
WEnd

REALLY? In my experience, it keeps returning -1 until someone actually connects.

I believe you're thinking of TCPAccept().
